the rue chicas: more from the ‘after shot’ series. i’m really into the scribbles, right now. i don’t know why. it has gone from paint brushes to random scribbling. i think it works nicely. either way, it’s fun. scribble on, people. oh! thanks to all of the stylists on set, that day, who helped (alexandra, evan, lauren and joji) and rachael berkowitz on hair and make-up!  KMD

new blog. new logo. new images. new look.

it’s refreshing. for me, mostly.

the new site will be up in a few weeks. i will be happy.

check out some new portraits. new to the blog, anyway.

i am trying to forget the patriots loss ASAP. this helps the healing process. KMD

this chick right here? miss lisa bello – wicked talented singer from boston. we did a test back in december and she used one of the images on her single, ‘losing control‘ – check it out.

hair and make-up by the fabulous christina elfar of philosophe hair studio.

oh look! an old school animated gif! a quick beginning to end of my photoshop weird art creation from last month. 40+ layers. 4-5 hours taken down to a dizzying, super fast loop of a few seconds. enjoy and be safe! #irene

goodbye NFL lockout!

patriots training camp. a tradition since 1997. i used to bring my little kodak advantix camera down to bryant college with my brother and grab shots of terry glenn, lawyer milloy and…pete caroll. then i got my firstdigital camera. a 5mp point and shoot.larry izzo,ty law, troy brown…the photos came out awful. i graduated to a dSLR and after 14 years (!?!?!) of photography and training camp sessions, i think i’ve got it down. 14 years? that’s kind of insane when you think about it. i’m not that old. or am i? what can i say. i’m a sucker for the game of football americano.

anywho, last year was the only year i didn’t make it to at least one practice. well enough about me, check out the slideshow below! photos are from 7/31 and 8/13. p.s. you look mad, chad.

happy sunday!

back in may, i hooked up with some of the talented rue la la family to “test” with one of our models, carolan. there was no real concept, other than a focus on beauty. lindsay nordberg put together a ton of looks for the day, while rachael berkowitz made carolan’s beauty stand out even more with hair and make-up. erika weatherbee was kind enough to come in and film some behind the scenes footage, as well (where i act like an idiot): http://vimeo.com/24806480

check out the final images from that day below. thank you to ourteamfor the day! <3

big ups to the various photoshop brush stock downloads from deviantart.com!

i get excited about every band i have the opportunity to photograph, but there are a few shows that leave me completely starstruck. one was janet jackson, another was jay-zw/ trey songz, and then there was this past saturday night. i covered the backstreet boys & new kids on the block show (NKOTBSB) at the td garden and had to remain calm throughout, in order to prevent spontaneous combustion. if you were never a 14 year old girl, you wouldn’t understand. the show was one word – AMAZING. dare i say….EPIC? i know. i know…

check out the review of the show here:  http://www.examiner.com/live-music-in-boston/nkotbsb-td-garden-review-1

and now for what you really came for….the photos. enjoy! KMD

don’t forget to check out the darn review!  http://www.examiner.com/live-music-in-boston/nkotbsb-td-garden-review-1

i was just digging through lightroom, editing some photos, and i ran across a few things i never posted here.  i started using TUMBLR a few months back and i posted them there – but really, who follows me on TUMBLR. i wouldn’t even follow myself. if you sign up for an account, follow some people who post crazy-great inspiration, daily.

christina elfar of threeSIXnine THE HAIR STUDIO is a genius. i asked her to join me in the studio last month for some beauty shots, along with 5 fabulous models. she transformed these lovely ladies with five unique looks. i can’t say enough good things about her talent. christina, you are a master with hair and make-up.  THANK YOU!

a big thank you to the chicas who joined me that day.  alexandriaserafini, tiki nguyen, jenn spanks-castiglione and jordyn leigh and lisa bello.

i went with a retro 80′s color thing.  semi-inspired by rihanna’s rude boy video. there will be more posted soon.
